Click here to find out How CommentLuv Works

Bloggers and businesses alike may not realize how very important CommentLuv can be to them. By joining the CommentLuv community you can connect with many others interested in the same things you are.

The CommentLuv featured posts you see in blogs that have CommentLuv installed make it easy to see which other commentators (people leaving comments) write about what you are interested in. Clicking on those comments connects you instantly with them.

There are already niches forming within the more than 20,000+ CommentLuv enabled blogs and the CommentLuv commuity is growing rapidly.

Whether you have a blog or not it is important that you seek out bloggers who write about subjects near and dear to your heart which for business owners means those related to the products and services you have to offer.

BLOGGERS: Welcome business owners as readers and commentators.
Invite them to share their expertise as guest bloggers.
Their experience and knowledge makes your blog even better!
Remember that they have interests beyond what they do
and interesting things to say on other subjects.

Be tolerant of those new to commenting and Social Networking and guide them in what is appropriate behavior. I am certain we have all made mistakes when we first got online. Never assume they realize what they are doing until we first explain what is expected.

BUSINESSES:  Do not spam blogs.
Do not hire SEO companies to spam blogs.
Do not turn your comments into advertisements.
DO contribute to the discussion and share what you know.

Let CommentLuv default links guide the blog owners and readers who are interested in what you offer to your site. Use the information about default links to register your business and select anchor text that creates beneficial backlinks without detracting from the blog where they appear.

I wrote the information below in reply to a question that Mike Criss, owner of the online printing company PrintingBlue posed in my post about KeywordLuv.

I was prompted to write this post to share what I told him with all my readers including those who rarely read the comments. I highly recommend you read comments here because I share as much in them as I post!

I will also answer any questions you leave or you can use my contact form to reach me via email. I would be happy to answer any specific questions you have.

To benefit from using CommentLuv and KeywordLuv you do not have
to have them installed but I DO recommend installing at least CommentLuv.

I strongly encourage all bloggers to install at least CommentLuv and all bloggers and business owners to register to use CommentLuv.

Not long I ago I would have encouraged all bloggers to install both but there is breaking news about new features in CommentLuv that I’ll include in this reply that may make KeywordLuv unnecessary.

My KeywordLuv post explains how you as a business owner can use blogs that have KeywordLuv installed to create dofollow backlinks that will allow your site to be found in the search engines. Now you can get the same benefits by being a valuable contributor in CommentLuv blogs.

Here are some additional resources that will help you do that best:

1. First you need to know what keyword phrases are important to you. I explain how to do that in my post about using anchor text links to build traffic and get found in the search engines.
2. When you create content you need to consistently use those keyword phrases. I explain where and how to use them in my post about selecting keywords first and then writing copy.
3. Since this post was written CommentLuv has added new features that allow bloggers and businesses to register default links that automatically create anchor text without having keywords in the name field (which many don’t really like). Read how to use CommentLuv default links for anchor text.
4. If you’re not familiar with CommentLuv also read How CommentLuv works.

I strongly recommend all businesses and bloggers who want to survive the economic downturn that is NOT going to recover and IS going to get worse learn why it is inevitable that the economy is going to continue to slide (both in the U.S. and globally).

The solution is to support small businesses – both the ones online and in their local communities.

There is more about why supporting the marketing efforts of small and online businesses is critical in my post about Word of Mouth. Find out what is causing worldwide economic collapse and how you can best avoid being a victim of it by reading these last two links.

While Google is promptly indexing content from some very active bloggers:

Murray's posts are indexed within the hour. See the notation "48 minutes ago" in this image.

The number of backlinks they are counting compared to Yahoo! and Bing continues to decline:

Change in GrowMap backlinks being reported by Google, Yahoo and Bing

This information comes from the free test version of MazeCore Monitor we are currently testing.  It shows our indexed links at Google and Yahoo are down -1 and -374 respectively while our links in Bing are up 4 and backlinks at Bing are up +1280!

MazeCore Monitor Backlinks for GrowMap

The dark blue line on the bottom is Google, the red line is Yahoo and the huge increase shown on the orange line is Bing. Does anyone else wonder why Google only counts 28 backlinks, Yahoo counts 1,647 and Bing counts 5,090?

Could Bing be counting Social Networking activity? What do YOU think?

MazeCore Monitor certainly looks interesting. The free version allows you to track one Web site and three keyword phrases.
